To legally work in Canada, you need a nine-digit Social Insurance Number (SIN) issued by Service Canada.

At the beginning of each term, Seneca Polytechnic invites Service Canada to come to campus to issue a SIN on the spot.

International students must register for a specific time slot and bring their original and valid documents listed below to their appointment:

1. A study permit issued by IRCC or CIC which indicates the permit holder “may accept employment" or “may work” in Canada.
2. A passport
